These things NEED air conditioning, so this is good news. I can't count how many times people have passed out from the heat. On a hot day, it's easily 10 degrees warmer on a train packed with people.

I don't like this new arrangement.

The second gen sd160 that were introduced in edmonton.. sweet cars.. leave to edmonton and calgary to kick ass in light rail..haha

Edmonton got these first

I agree totally about the seats , having to sit facing inward is pretty awful! Whoever designs the interiors certainly dont have to travel in them!
-
i hate these kinds of trains. its uncomfortable looking at someone across you. one time i actually WANTED to miss the c-train because of this model. If the seat were facing the front and back of the s-train, then i would be happy.
-
if only the seat weren't sideways. its uncomfortable when ur sitting sideways. if it was like the other seats facing to the front and back of the c-trains, i'd like it.

@101101101777 It's not just braking, but also speed control. If the car in question is coasting, the inverters will make that sound. Almost all AC-based vehicles make this noise or a similar sound. The older U2ACs (2101 and 2102) make this noise as do all the SD160s (newer ones included). Subway cars in Toronto and Manhattan make this noise. The noise generated on Canadian Pacific's General Electric and EMD AC units can be deafening.

That voice is too friggen chatty.

Lol, you can go across the whole city in like 20 mins with these trains...not like you NEED to sit down. Stop yo bitchin.
Will they still make that god damn fucking high pitched electrical noise. I fucking hate that noise it comes on when the driver brakes, so sometimes he's braking for the whole trip and it's nothing but fucking EEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR

@101101101777 Inverters cause that sound, converting DC to AC voltage, then regenerating power back to the overhead when breaking.

I saw the new car on the tracks between southland and heritage. I think it was just delivered last weekend. Looks pretty cool!
